FAQ

• What is the contract amount?

  The cost is roughly equivalent to the wages of a single employee, making it no different from hiring one person.

• What are the advantages of hiring your company?

  The Japanese government is promoting support systems for attracting foreign companies and easing restrictions on startup visas. However, these often involve complex administrative procedures, which frequently cause business to stall. As a certified administrative service provider, we can handle all of these administrative procedures on your behalf.

• Do you have any examples of business visions?

  Japan actually possesses a vast amount of land and building assets and resources. However, this is only known to those with qualifications such as administrative scrivener, condominium manager, or real estate agent. Furthermore, consider expanding your business into East Asia from a base in Japan.

• Are there any other attractive aspects to expanding into Japan?

  Japan boasts numerous attractive urban landscapes and culinary spots, which we believe will contribute to the skill development of our employees.

  Japan is one of the world's leading economies and an attractive market due to its advanced infrastructure, security, and political stability.

• How much does it cost to expand a business into Japan?

  Setting up a physical store in Japan typically requires ¥15M to ¥50M ($100K–$330K), while office expansion for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) costs ¥15M to ¥30M ($100K–$200K), and large corporate setups require ¥50M to ¥100M ($330K–$670K). However, considering the time needed to build brand awareness and maintain an operational runway, we strongly recommend securing about twice these amounts in total capital.
